Chapter 354: Hand-to-hand combat
The sun is scorching, and the mountains that rise and fall as far as the eye can see are like flaming mountains on fire.
Horel squinted his eyes and looked at the road that had been somewhat twisted in the heat. The hot air scorched every inch of skin, and the sweat had just been wiped off and rolled down, running down the eyebrows and into the eyes, blurring vision.
The Tali Department is a branch of Wusun, and this time the Xia State Coalition Army invaded the Tang Dynasty, and the Tali Department sent 8,000 people. Unfortunately, half of the Tali tribe had left their lives there during the battle of Valley City, and now only the pitiful 4,000 remained.
Four thousand people is negligible for an army of 150,000, and Mo Lingtu has no intention of including these people in the army, but uses them as spies to explore the way, and urges a military order every day to speed up the journey.
Horel was the commander of this hapless force.
As a nobleman, when did Horrell suffer such a crime? Along the way, he never stopped cursing Mo Lingtu. But scolding and scolding, he also knew that he was powerless to change anything, so it was better to focus on the remnants of the Tang Dynasty.
If he can really catch that Tang God of War, how can he suffer from Mo Lingtu's idleness in the future?
Constantly comforting himself in his heart, Horrell tightened the reins, looked at the troops who had no momentum under the scorching sun, and said loudly in Xia language: "Lift up your spirits, hurry up for Lao Tzu!" The Immortal Heaven has given us guidance, and what awaits you is the glory of being a Tali warrior, not hanging around like a bunch of walking corpses in this damn place! ”
The sturdy man who seemed to be Horel's henchman on the side said: "My lord, the weather here is too hot, and many people have symptoms of heat stroke and dehydration, do you want to find a place to escape the heat before leaving?" ”
Horel was right to think about it, he had lost half of his men for no reason, and some unfavorable gossip had already flown into his ears. In the future, when you return to the clan, whether it is good or bad is a human mouth, and it is still necessary to buy people's hearts.
Horel nodded, and looked up, and saw a narrow valley left between the two high cliffs in the distance, and the valley was dark, which was the best place to escape the heat.
Horel was overjoyed and said, "Give the order to go down and rest in the valley ahead first!" ”
The strong man frowned and said, "My lord, the terrain here... It doesn't seem safe, so don't you need to send someone to explore the way? ”
"Sniff! Those Tang dogs still dare to ambush them? Haqi, Changshengtian gave you a body like a tiger, but you have the courage of a cat! Horel said angrily.
Haqi said in fear: "Your Excellency is angry, Haqi will go and give an order!" ”
Horel was satisfied, and said: "Let's not mention that I have already sent someone to scout the road just now, even if I meet that group of cowards, I, Horel, am confident that I will catch them all!" ”
************************************
"It's coming! We're going to catch them all this time! ”
The same words appear in different populations.
Watching the lazy and lazy troops slowly approach, the Tang soldiers hiding on the hillside had a look of disdain on their faces.
Look at the loose appearance of this army, this virtue is also worthy of the word "soldier"? It is a great shame to be defeated at the hands of these people!
The soldiers gritted their teeth, holding back an evil fire in their hearts, and rubbed their hands one by one.
Zhan Lingyun looked down expressionlessly and said, "Tang An, you go to the old man's side and watch the old man's command." ”
"Me?" Tang An pointed to his nose, and when he saw the latter nodding, he stood beside Zhan Lingyun according to his words, and said with a wry smile: "Old general, you really look up to me." ”
"The strategy was you came up with, and you should supervise the battle." Zhan Lingyun said lightly, "The battlefield is changing, and what tests the boss's adaptability is the test. Only by employing people properly and advancing and retreating can we succeed in a battle. Today, we are so well prepared, we will definitely let the beard go and never return - Chen Buping! ”
"The last general!"
"Are the stones ready?"
"The throwers are in place!"
"What about the stormtroopers?"
"The ambush has already been prepared."
Zhan Lingyun nodded reassuringly, and said to Tang An: "That... What about Fairy Mu? ”
Tang An'an comprehended and made a "oh open" gesture: "General rest assured, the fairy is ready." ”
"Good!" Zhan Lingyun looked down again, his eyes were like two sharp blades, watching the beautiful flower butterfly fly into the spider web unconsciously, with a trace of cruel arc at the corner of his mouth, and said loudly: "Kill!" ”
An order was given, and the crowd was excited!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
Shouts rang out from all directions at the same time, a beast-like roar resounded through the sky, and the whole valley reverberated with endless roars.
Horel, who was enjoying a moment of coolness, was shocked, looked up in horror, and was immediately shocked.
The Tang Army, the Tang Army all over the mountains!
"Withdraw!"
Horrell shouted almost instinctively, trying to lead his troops along the way out of Death Canyon. The air outside was hot, but at the moment he felt a chill to his bones.
Death, so close to yourself!
However, from the moment he stepped into the valley, it was too late.
Several boulders fell from the sky, blocking the narrow entrance and bringing up dust from the sky.
Horel's face turned pale, and he looked up at the dense figures in the sky, and felt that the sky had changed color.
However, to be able to achieve this position proves that Horel is by no means a fool without courage. He immediately drew his sword, with a look of determination on his face, and shouted loudly to his subordinates like headless flies: "Warriors of the Tali tribe! Kill me with me! ”
"Want to go?" Zhan Lingyun stood straight like a green pine, and his withered right hand waved down like a scythe of death: "Throwing stones!" ”
Chen Buping, who was on the side, understood that with a branch and a rag torn from his clothes, it could be regarded as a battle flag.
When the soldiers saw that the flag was unfurled, they were about to pick up the rocks that looked like a hill beside them. A black-faced strong man with red eyes, thinking about the tragic death of the robe, shouted: "Greet your wife for me!" ”
After saying that, he picked up the brown stone the size of a basin and smashed it down with all his strength!
They are the iron-blooded army of the Tang Dynasty, even if they don't have bows and arrows or armor, they can't erase their momentum. There are no weapons, they have stones, there are no stones, they still have fists!
Above the valley, dense rocks poured down like a torrential rain with raging fury.
"Poof!"
A fist-sized stone smashed into the head of a beard, and red blood and white stiffness suddenly sprayed out, and the hapless beard fell limply without even snorting.
This is just the beginning.
When the soldiers of the Xia Kingdom saw the stone rain like locusts crossing the border, they were so frightened that they hugged their heads and ran away. For a moment, screams, moans, and cries erupted, converging into the death music of the valley. Stones fell on their heads and bodies, and bright red flowers bloomed, and their heads burst like smashed eggs, painting a poignant picture of the earth.
Is it cruel? No.
Sins committed with blood can only be washed away with blood!
"Kill! Kill! Kill! ”
The roar of anger was unconscious, and the Tang soldiers pinned their hatred for their beard and their nostalgia for their deceased friends into the stones in their hands. The bulging arms of the green tendons were mechanically lifted, lowered, and picked up again, as if they would never get tired.
The condescending figures of the Tang people have become the nightmare of the Tali warriors, and perhaps the last picture they will see in their lives.
The blood soon stained the earth, and a full 4,000 people collapsed as soon as they touched it. One body after another fell, life after life passed, and the once invincible warrior tribe now became a butterfly struggling in the cobweb, trying their best but in vain.
Horel's heart was bleeding, and he knew that his troops were finished, and so was himself.
Behind him was the blocked entrance, and above him was the Tang Army, and there was only one passage left - that would be his last chance.
"Rush over, rush with me!" Horrell shouted hoarsely.
Although there are many stones, there is also one that is thrown away. When the last stone was thrown down, and seeing that there were many beards below limping to the other end of the valley, the Tang army on the cliff shouted and cursed, shouting that he was not happy.
"Do they think that's the end?" Zhan Lingyun smiled cruelly, "Then this boss can't help but think that the old man is too simple!" ”
